Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ICG) (OTCQX: ICGQF)("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated January 21, 2016, in which the Company announced a contemplated private placement with Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado"), the parties have now signed a definitive share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") for that transaction. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Eldorado has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 7,767,777 common shares of the Company (the "Private Placement Shares"), constituting approximately 2.15% of the currently issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") on an undiluted basis as of the date of the Share Purchase Agreement, at a price of $0.315 per Private Placement Share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2,446,850 (the "Private Placement").

The closing of the Private Placement will be conditional on the closing of the Company's previously announced $15 million bought deal offering (the "Offering") led by Cormark Securities Inc., on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters including Paradigm Capital Inc., GMP Securities L.P., Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd., Beacon Securities Limited, Haywood Securities Inc. and Mackie Research Capital Corporation (collectively, the "Underwriters").

Closing of the Offering and the Private Placement is expected to occur on or about February 11, 2016, and is subject to the completion of formal documentation and receipt of regulatory approval, including the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Eldorado has the right to increase its purchase by up to an additional 794,118 Common Shares (the "Additional Private Placement Shares") for a total of 8,561,895 Common Shares, if the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters under the Offering is exercised in full.

The Private Placement Shares will be subject to a hold period for a period of four months and a day after the closing pursuant to Canadian securities laws. The net proceeds received by the Company from the Private Placement will be used for continued exploration on the Company's Lamaque Project and general working capital.

Eldorado currently holds 52,058,200 Common Shares. Assuming Eldorado does not exercise its right to purchase the Additional Private Placement Shares, Eldorado will own 59,825,977 Common Shares constituting 15.0% of the then outstanding Common Shares on an undiluted basis following the closing of the Private Placement and the Offering. Eldorado is acquiring the Private Placement Shares for investment purposes and may acquire further Common Shares or dispose of its holdings of Common Shares both as investment conditions warrant.
